T0 @ZZ whom t may concern.'

Be it lrnown that I, l/VILLIAM G. KENDALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rouge-Pads, of which the following is a specilication.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in receptacles or containers and more particularly to containers for rouge and is a division of a prior patent granted to me August 8, 1916, and bearing the No. 1,19l,l85, the primary object of my ii rention being an improvement in what is commonly known as the rouge holding pad proper.

llt the presen time, the rouge in the form ci" powder or paste is compressed into a block or disk and then glued or otherwise secured by adhesive to one face of a block or dish of porcelain, glass or metal, commonly known as the rouge holding pad and this pad is then glued or otherwise fastened into the bottom of a boi; or container of cardboard or other suitable material. As will be readily appreciated, this requires considerable time and, consequently, increases the expense of packaging the rouge. Moreover, the actual bringing of adhesive into engagement with the rouge itself is a disadvantage.

lily present invention aims to proifide a pad against which or into which the rouge may be forced or compressed and the rouge cake therefore made directly upon the pad in such a anner that no adhesive is reen in holding it thereto, the only adheecessary being that utilized to secure ad in the containing' box.

lilith these and other objects in vie'r, my

more fully described, illusaccompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims ched to and form a part of application.

ln the drawing: Figure 1 is a central, vertical sectional view taken through the containing box, showing my improved pad in elevation; F ig. 2 is a top plan view of the rouge holding' pad; F ig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 8-3 of Fig. 2.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

ln order to insure a clear understanding of the construction and application of my rouge holding pad, l have illustrated it in connection with a conventional form ot' container 10 including a bottom 11, circular in shape and carrying upstanding inner and outer walls 12 and 13, respectively, the upper peripheral edge of the inner wall projecting beyond the outer wall in order that the latter may form a stop shoulder' for the downwardly directed peripheral flange let oi the cover or cap 15. This box, which is preferably ormed of cardboard or other suitable material, is of conventional structure and need not further be described.

My improved rouge holding pad proper, indicated as a whole by the numeral 16 may be formed orn glass, porcelain or any suitable sheet metal, although l prefer to form it of' aluminum as the latter is non-corrosive and sanitary. The pad includes a base portion 17 corresponding in shape and size to the inner face of the bottom 11 oi1 the container 10 and provided about its edge with an upwardly and inwardly directed retaining flange 18, The rouge, indicated in vthe drawings by the numeral 19, is, by the employment of any suitable machine or apparatus, which forms no part of the present invention, pressed into the pad 1G in the manner shown in F 1 whereby the upwardly and inwardly directed flange 1S or the pad will engage a portion ot the rouge and, because of its adherence to the remainder, hold the entire cake of rouge in place.

To further secure the rouge, the body is provided with a series of upstrucl ribs 20 which may be disposed parallel to each other or otherwise arranged, as preferred. lf desired, these ribs may be made somewhat wider at their upper than at their lower ends in order to form retaining shoulders 21 between which the rouge will be forced. ln any event, they will prevent any likelihood of loosening of the rouge cake during wiping of rouge therefrom as the cake will be positively held against turning movement.

lt will of course be understood that no adhesive is necessary to secure the rouge to the pads above described although the pads are secured to the bottom 1l of the box lO by adhesive, in the usual manner.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. A rouge pad including a base having an upwardly and inwardly directed peripheral flange, and a plurality of ribs upstruck from the base.

2. A rouge pad including a base having an upwardly and inwardly directed peripheral flange, and a plurality of ribs upstruck from the base, the ribs being wider at their upper than at their lower edges.

3. A rouge pad including a base having an upwardly and inwardly directed peripheral flange, and a plurality of spaced substantially parallel ribs upstruck from the base.

Ll. A rouge pad in'cluding a base having an upwardly and inwardly directed periph- Copie of this patent may be obtained 01' eral flange, and a plurality of spaced substantially parallel ribs upstruck from the base, the ribs being of hollow construction and opening through the bottom of the base.

5. A rouge pad including a base having an upwardly and inwardly directed peripheral flange, and a plurality of spaced substantially parallel ribs upstruck from the base, the ribs being wider at their upper than at their lower edges.

6. A rouge pad including a base having an upwardly and inwardly directed peripheral flange, and a plurality of spaced substantially parallel ribs upstruck from the base, the ribs being wider at their' upper than at their lower edges and of hollow construction opening through the lower face of the base.

ln testimony whereof l affix my signature.
